Whether i'm right or whether i'm wrong Whether i find a place in this world or never belong I gotta be me, i've gotta be me What else can i be but what i am I want to live, not merely survive And i won't give up this dream Of life that keeps me alive I gotta be me, i gotta be me The dream that i see makes me what i am That far-away prize, a world of success Is waiting for me if i heed the call I won't settle down, won't settle for less As long as there's a chance that i can have it all I'll go it alone, that's how it must be I can't be right for somebody else If i'm not right for me I gotta be free, i've gotta be free Daring to try, to do it or die I've gotta be me I'll go it alone, that's how it must be I can't be right for somebody else If i'm not right for me I gotta be free, i just gotta be free Daring to try, to do it or die I gotta be me
